1 Simplicity Discrete Analyzer For Environmental l Analysis Most environmental laboratories invest the greatest amount of resources to perform wet chemistry and realize the smallest amount of return. There is now a better way Kurt Laboratory Director

2 Simplicity Discrete Analyzer For laboratories performing environmental, industrial, and agricultural analysis, who need accurate, defensible data, and improved workflow and efficiency. The Simplicity Discrete Analyzer offers flexibility to quickly and accurately perform mul ple parameters without operator interven on. Unlike conven onal discrete analyzers, the Simplicity has been specifically designed with respect to USEPA methods, dynamic ranges, and detec on limits. FEATURES Automa c start up and shut down.

3 WHY BUY A SIMPLICITY DISCRETE ANALYZER? There are several reasons why your laboratory should own a Simplicity. 1. Easy to use; requires no specific experience to operate, and can be learned by anyone in a ma er of minutes. Labor costs are greatly reduced and produc vity is increased, enabling technicians to perform other tasks. True una ended and overnight opera on. 2. Improve work flow and efficiency. The built in versa lity of the system enables laboratories to run mul ple parameters on the same sample, without operator interven on. Automa c dilu on and re analysis of out of range samples saves me and ensures data integrity. Pre run dilu ons from a matrix specific solu on and automa c prepara on of standards make the system ideal for busy environmental laboratories and labs with less skilled personnel. 3. Produce accurate defensible data using regulatory compliant USEPA and Standard Methods. Analysis so ware follows NELAP or user defined quality control protocol. 4. Minimize waste genera on and reagent consump on. Approximately 600 µl of combined reagent and sample per test. No bulky external tanks or lines for washing. 5. User maintainable; modular design for easy repair. All cri cal parts visible and accessible. Electronics isolated to eliminate poten al damage from accidental spills. Provided with a customized version of TimeKeeper America Con nuous Maintenance Monitoring So ware which alerts technicians when maintenance needs to be performed and then logs its comple on, demonstra ng NELAP compliance. SPECIFICATIONS Accuracy +/ 1% from 0 to 2.5 O.D. 9 op cal filters, plus 1 dark filter nm +/ 2 nm Automa c zero se ng for all wavelengths Micro flow cell 35 µl internal volume (Standard) 60 posi on sample tray 18 posi on, 45 ml reagent bo les temperature controlled 1000 µl diluter syringe

4 Simplicity Methods The Simplicity Discrete Analyzer performs several manual and automated colorimetric methods. Chinchilla Scien fic has a powerful applica ons team which has developed a comprehensive list of USEPA approved methods. Our methods follow the strict guidelines as required by the USEPA, Standard Methods, AOAC, and ISO standards. Most Simplicity methods can be adjusted to accommodate various ranges and matrices not included in the standard list. Below is a par al list of different parameters that can be measured. USEPA Method Method No. Alkalinity Aluminum Ammonia Rev. 2 Chloride Cl C Chlorine Chromium VI Cr B Cyanide Rev. 1 Fluoride 4500 F E Hardness Iron Manganese Nitrate NO3 H, 353.1, Rev. 2 Nitrate, Easy (1 Reagent) Final Method Update Rule Nitrite Rev. 2 Nitrogen, Total Kjeldahl Rev. 2 Phenol Phosphate, Ortho Rev. 2 Phosphorus, Total Kjeldahl Phosphate, Total (Persulfate diges on) Rev. 2 Silicate....

5 USEPA APPROVES CHINCHILLA SCIENTIFIC EASY (1 REAGENT) NITRATE METHOD measurement of nitrate and nitrite singly or combined in water and wastewater. The method was also approved on August 3, 2009 (Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 147 / Rules and Regula ons) for drinking water compliance monitoring. The EPA determined that the method is "equally effec ve" as current Safe Water Drinking Act (SWDA) methods for nitrate. The new method meets all requirements at 40 CFR Part 141 for measurement of nitrate and nitrite singly or combined in drinking water. A non hazardous alterna ve to tradi onal nitrate methods for aqueous solu ons May 18, 2012 Final Method Update Rule lists Chinchilla Scien fic Easy (1 Reagent) Nitrate Method as an approved method for nitrate, nitrite and combined nitrate/nitrite analysis under 40 CFR Part A er review of valida on data, the USEPA approved the use of the new non hazardous nitrate method. The USEPA determined that the method meets all requirements at 40 CFR Part 136 for The method is a huge improvement over cadmium reduction. Within a few years, everyone will be using it Timothy EPA Auditor Several methods exist for determining nitrate in aqueous solu ons. However, the most commonly performed USEPA approved methods are problema c and can be unreliable. USEPA methods nitrate Hydrazine reduc on and nitrate Cadmium reduc on are carcinogenic and highly toxic. Hazardous waste is generated when performing these methods and disposal is costly. Other methods performed by ion chromatography (IC) and ion selec ve electrode (ISE) are slow and can have issues when performing analysis on samples with high ionic strength, such as wastewater, ground water and soil extracts. The new Easy (1 Reagent) Nitrate Method was developed to eliminate the problems associated with these tradi onal methods and improve performance. The new Easy (1 Reagent) Nitrate Method u lizes a green non hazardous reducing agent which eliminates hazardous waste genera on and exposure to carcinogens such as hydrazine and cadmium. The method has a greater linear range and be er detec on limits than commonly performed methods. The valida on study conducted by Chinchilla Scien fic used a method range of mg/l and consistently achieved a method detec on limit (MDL) of mg/l or be er. The method also has flexibility to work at lower and higher ranges, simply by adjus ng the sample to reagent ra o. Other issues like matrix interferences and poor recovery are eliminated. Regardless of the sample matrix, recovery of nitrate to nitrite is consistently between 95% and 105%. Analy cal costs associated with performing the new method are also greatly reduced. Unlike costly enzyma c tests, the Chinchilla Scien fic Reagent R1 costs range from 1.5 to 4 cents per test depending on how the method is run.
